About the Book:This book is a groundbreaking guide that offers a unique, systematic approach to the creative process. Best-Maugard, an influential Mexican artist and educator, developed this method to democratize artistic creation, allowing anyone, regardless of training, to tap into their creativity and produce art. The central benefit of this book lies in its clear, accessible structure. Best-Maugard introduces seven fundamental design elements—simple lines and shapes like spirals, circles, and zigzags—that serve as the building blocks for creating complex and beautiful artwork. By mastering these basic forms, readers can explore a wide variety of styles and mediums, from drawing and painting to decorative arts. This method allows even beginners to break down the process of design into manageable steps, fostering confidence and skill. Another key benefit is its emphasis on universal principles of design, rooted in ancient artistic traditions. Best-Maugard connects his method to various world cultures, showing that these elements are found in art from different times and places, thus providing a deeper appreciation of art history and culture. His approach encourages a fusion of traditional and modern design, allowing for creativity that honors heritage while fostering personal expression. The book also emphasizes creativity as a fundamental human activity, not something reserved for the professionally trained or inherently gifted. Best-Maugard’s method fosters imagination, making art more accessible to students, teachers, and self-taught individuals who want to explore their creative potential. If you're looking for a practical tool to help both beginner and experienced artists, this is the guide to unlocking creativity, promoting design thinking, and fostering artistic expression, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the creative process.
